Expressionistic landscapes and floral oil paintings! I absolutely love to get lost in the process of painting and not think too much when creating. I enjoy listening to music and just getting into the flow state and allowing the painting to evolve. I paint with acrylics and oils, paint with my fingers, brushes, palette knives, oil pastels, really whatever. I find freedom in being loose with my work and bringing my energy and personality into each piece.
Where do you find inspiration?My motivation to paint comes from late Pastor Paul Mooney, who regularly encouraged me to "keep painting!" My inspiration comes from God's beautiful artistry in nature. My desire is for the viewer to have a moment to reset when looking at my work and feeling peace and joy. Life is hard. I believe art should bring you joy when you take it in. I also teach classes when I have the opportunity and love helping people realize that they can paint!!
What would you do with $25,000?Pay for my art studio, buy more paint and supplies and take an in person course to continue to grow my skills.
